Behold, foolish interlopers! I am commanding this mortal to spread the will of the Scourge throughout the interwebs, encouraging you to seek out me, Archlich Kel'Thuzad! Now coming to you as the tenth class of Hearthstone!
I am a finalist in this Class Creation Competition, so if you could give it a look I would be greatly appreciative <3
Shoot. Did you not get my mind-controlling device disguised as a innocent funnel cake?
Oh i got it, and it was delicious. Truly an award winning recipe!
Snaps fingers
The power is already going to your head XD

For the most part, we've chosen who we're going to be bringing on board now. It looks like we're going to be bringing on 10 or 11 new moderators. I'm going to be honest, we're going to bringing on a silly number of fan creations mods (I was expecting 2), which is something that worries me because initially we'll have too many of you for the current workload we have. I think once things settle in though, you'll all find your spot on our team, especially since some of you want to help out in other areas that aren't only the FC forum.
Private messages will go out tomorrow and we'll be spending the day playing Destiny. Er, I'll be spending the day playing Destiny and posting front page content while you get acquainted with the role, ask questions, and slave away at the forums.
Thank you to everyone who submitted applications. It's great to see how many passionate people we have in our own slice of Hearthstone. If I could, I'd bring all of you on, I'd bring on most of you.
A few tips for future mod recruitment phases. I won't post these again and encourage people not to link back to this. It's a good way of pruning applicants.
If you're going to apply and we're looking for active people, have more than a dozen posts.
On the same train of activity, don't have your latest post being 6 months ago.
Report content on the site that violates rules. Although not high up on the list of things we require, this helps show us your judgment and lets people surpass other applicants.
Fill out the entire application. I'm not kidding, some people didn't fill the entire thing out (optional questions excluded).
Fun facts time.
Shadows is incredibly kind because he rates people higher than the rest of us!
Also, for every 1000 forum posts all applicants made, their thanks increased by 990. I wish I knew how this compared to everyone active on the site, maybe it's something to calculate one day for fun. Shadows made a note that this looks like a sword. Our applicants are dangerous people. I also want to point out that although your post history mattered, the raw number of them wasn't a huge deciding factor. Anyone can shitpost (see our mod team) but not everyone can create quality contributions.
And yes, you were all definitely rated on a scale of 10 points, alongside comments which supported each of our scores. This is how the calculated average score looked when all applicants were looked at. See the heavy bottom? That's bad apps.
Scores definitely adjusted over time as more applications were reviewed, so much so I had to go back multiple times to play with everyone.
In total, we ended up with 28 applications which was more than I expected. It was our best mod recruitment drive to date and I hope we can open them up again soon because there is a ton of potential out there still! We'll likely have the next round of mod recruitment target specific roles instead of moderation in a global scope, much like we did for Fan Creations and Arena.
Get it? 'cause instead of "Shots!", I said "Charts!" ...I'm going now.

Wait a moment, did you went through all the post history of all applicants or did you just look at the most recent posts made by them? I would have prefered you to check my entire post history since I have a lot of post, but I doubt that happened. :P

For god sake...
:P
I've already seen your entire post history :D
For users with long histories, the most recent is the most scrutinized but we still go back and check pages at random, or at least I do.
The burning question - did everyone get private messaged? Yes. All our new moderators have been chosen and messaged. If you didn't make it, try again in a future round of mod recruitment if you're still interested!
We'll maybe announce it on the front page after a little bit of time letting people sink into their roles.
Well there is always next time. Thanks for the consideration, will take the suggestions under advisement for the next application!

Anyway for us failed applicants to get our scores? Just curious how close and whether its worth pursuing in the future.
It's always worth pursuing if you're active on the site and helpful to others. Also make sure you report any content you come across that breaks our rules because that really shows us who knows their stuff.
Our 'scores' are going to vary for each round of recruitment because everyone is being put up against each other, and the way we decide them may even change which makes it not worth mentioning.
I also don't want to talk too much about every bit of criteria we use to determine who gets brought on board because it will only allow people to game the system. I have to put a lot of trust into people in order to bring them on as a mod, so being as careful as possible to protect any secrets that exist is :D :D.
Like I said though, just be active on the site, helpful, and report stuff and that goes a long way and should be somewhat obvious to prospective applicants.

Congratulations to all who have been elected as moderators! :)
Congrats to all who were accepted!
Welp, didn't get accepted. Better luck next time, eh?
